The Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Sport, Blendi Gonxhja, recently conducted a field inspection in Vlorë, directing attention toward the management of the city’s coastal areas. During the verification process, the Minister issued a warning regarding the enforcement of regulations for public access, specifically targeting private entities that violate designated zones for beaches. The inspection concentrated on the Lungomare area, where officials assessed both vacant plots and existing public beach infrastructure.
Authorities noted several instances of irregularities involving various hotel and service structures during the review. Reports confirmed that violations were identified from businesses that were observed placing amenities, such as umbrellas and sunbeds, outside of permitted territories or in encroachment upon public spaces. The focus of the ministerial visit underscored the need for strict adherence to established guidelines governing public recreational areas.
In response to the observed discrepancies, the ministry called for immediate intervention to rectify the situation. The inspection serves as a reminder to all stakeholders that compliance with zoning and public space regulations is mandatory. These measures aim to ensure that the utilization of Vlorë’s valuable coastal resources remains orderly and accessible for the public benefit.
